Title Work. Quiet Title. Real Estate Transactions. Partitions. Easements. Contracts. Real Estate law encompasses multiple areas of law, including probate, guardianship, divorce, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. The process of buying, selling, or developing real property is one of the most complex areas of the law as they involve old common law and modern secured transactions as well as lending regulations. In much of Oklahoma, specifically the Eastern half, many land transactions still deal with restricted Indian land.
